How to Get Furniture and Furnishings

There are currently five known ways to get Furshings for your Serenitea Pot:

1 Craft with Materials
2 Buy from the Realm Depot (Tubby)
3 Buy from the Teapot Traveling Salesman (Chubby)
4 Visit other Players' Traveling Salesman
5 Get from Events

More than 200 Furnishings available in 1.5

Already starting version 1.5, there will be over 200 different decorations, furniture, and landscape items.

Furniture Customization

Already starting version 1.5, there will be over 200

A6: In the current version, there are already over 200 furnishings that you can place. In future versions, types and styles of furnishings will continue to be added. Paimon will pass on your request for custom furnishings to the dev Team!

How to Get Furniture Materials

To get the materials you need to craft furnishings, you can There are currently five known ways to get Furshings for your Serenitea Pot:

1 Cut down Trees
2 Collect Ores and other normal Items
3 Redeem with Realm Currency
4 Increase Trust Rank

Gardening System

Many players were asking if you can grow vegetables and flowers with the Housing System, but that feature is not ready yet and is planned to be released in the future.

While you can get points and currency you can exchange for items, you won't be able to grow Primogems, Mora, Resin, etc.

Can Your Characters be Placed in Your Realm?

Not in 1.5, but from version 1.6 you will be able to place the Characters you have in your Housing Realm.

Can You Use the Furniture and Recover HP?

No, and no. At this point, we won't be able to interact with the furniture, but they are working on adding that feature in future releases. From the way they worded their answer, however, HP Recovery will probably always be limited to the Statues.

Can You Send Furniture to Friends?

According to the notes, you will not be able send furnishings to friends, and they make no promises about the feature coming in the future. They do say that they will consider it though!

Sanctifying Essence and Unctions

The mysterious new items, Sanctifying Essence and Sanctifying Unctions, available from the Realm Depot, turns out to be items you can use to Enhance your Artifacts! This should make Artifact grinding a bit easier.

Transient Resin

The Transient Resin that we all probably eyed hungrily during the Special Program was also mentioned in the Housing Dev notes, as being just like normal Resin but set to “decompose over time.” Most likely, this means you'll have a set amount of time to use them before they disappear!
